INCLUSIVE PARTICIPATORY APPROACHES ON CLIMATE ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION FOR FARMERS

Ethnographic and participatory approaches to research on farmers’ responses to climate predictions

This article synthesizes the state of the art in the application of ethnographic and participatory methods in climate application research. The review focuses on 2 aspects: (1) the cognitive and cultural landscape in which farmers’ understanding of climate and climate information is grounded and (2) the decision-making processes and environment which shape farmers’ adaptive strategies. The firs...

Integrating Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation with Urban planning for a Livable city in Tehran

Climate change impacts are seen within growing numbers of cities in low- and middle-income countries, so there is growing interest in the adaptation and mitigation plans and programs put forward by city authorities. This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the constraints which cities face them in this subject by analyzing the case of Tehran. City has a commitment to decentralizatio...

Beyond Mitigation: Planning for Climate Change Adaptation

Understanding Farmer Perspectives on Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation

The statistical models used in this study adapt the multivariate capabilities of structural equation models (SEMs) to handle variables with discrete ordered response categories. These models link the observed (categorical) response y i,j for item j by subject i to an unobserved continuous variable y * i,j through an ordinal probit model. An example for a five-category item would be: 1 if agree)...

Session 4 Managing Soils for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation

Intense interest in soil organic matter (SOM) over its role in the storage of terrestrial carbon (C) and in the release of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere manifests itself in a renewal of research efforts to assess the impacts of different soil management systems on C dynamics. This paper assesses the future role of selected systems for managing agricultural and pastoral land; addressing ...
